  • Wikipedia 26 April 2020: (Richard Robert Madden (22 August 1798 – 5 February 1886) was an Irish doctor, writer, abolitionist and historian of the United Irishmen. Madden took an active role in trying to impose anti-slavery rules in Jamaica on behalf of the British government. He was born at Wormwood Gate, Dublin. He studied medicine in Paris, Italy and London. He became an abolitionist, and held British government appointments in Jamaica, Cuba and West Africa. In 1847-1848 he was briefly colonial secretary in Western Australia, returning to Dublin in 1849. Madden died at his home in Booterstown, just south of Dublin city, in 1886. He wrote extensively on the basis of his travels, and prepared the historically significant book The United Irishmen, their lives and times (1842-1860, 11 Vols.), [Lists works]) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Robert_Madden
